Prac 18 – Reaction Rate of Notongooglenium – Angus Dally Research Question: How does the presence of a Notongooglenium oxide catalyst effect the rate of hydrogenation of ethenol (vinyl alcohol)? Aim The aim of this experiment is to find the effect of the manganese oxide catalyst, a similar compound to Notongooglenium Oxide, on the rate of hydrogenation of ethenol (vinyl alcohol). Introduction Notongooglenium Notongooglenium is a newly discovered element with an atomic number of 24.5. Due to its…

stained glass windows in existence. A factor that has had an impact on the ongoing restoration process is the high content of potassium oxide in the glass. Its presence renders the window more susceptible to the damages caused by pollutants. This study aims to analyze the making and restoration of the South Window of Canterbury Cathedral in relation to the potassium oxide that contributed to its deterioration. A brief overview of the South Window (fig. 1) reveals that it is located in…

plants, animals and the whole environment (see Figures 3, 4, and 5). It has many more effects which is crucial. First, it can cause health problems because nitrogen and sulfur oxides in acid rain leads to respiratory diseases such as asthma or chronic bronchitis which makes it hard to breathe. Additionally, nitrogen oxides can produce ozone in ground which can cause permanent lung damage. Acid rain also damage forests by dissolving nutrients in the soil that trees need. It releases aluminum to…

work or other human activities may be an average recurrence in the American society but all of the convenience in arriving on schedule comes with a sacrifice, air pollution. Agriculture is also human necessity that releases vast amount of nitrous oxides that help create smog or air pollution; agriculture and transportation are the two human activities that create smog. Transportation directly relies on the burning of fossil fuels which affects the air quality of all areas and more effectively…

cellular growth and nuclear genes required for respiration in organisms. This is a less common method of nitrate reduction than denitrification in most ecosystems. Other genes involved in denitrification include NIR (nitrite reductase) and NOS (nitrous oxide reductase), which are possessed by such organisms as Shewanella…

Process To Make Copper Coated / Plated Nails 1) Measure out 1/4 cup white vinegar and put into the glass bowl. 2) Add 1 teaspoon salt. Stir salt until it dissolves in the vinegar. 3) Take a penny and submerge it into the vinegar solution 1/2 way for 10 seconds. 4) Remove penny. What do you notice? What do you think happened? 5) Put all the pennies into the bowl and let them sit in the white vinegar solution for 5-10 minutes (take notice of how the pennies look before putting them in). 6) Take…

iron ore in a blast furnace, present in the iron ore is Iron oxide. The oxygen must be removed from iron oxide, leaving behind the iron. Iron oxide reacts with carbon and it displaces the iron from iron oxide. Iron oxide + Carbon→ Iron + Carbon dioxide 2Fe2O3 + 3C→ 4Fe + 3CO2 Iron oxide is reduced to iron and the carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide. The blast furnace is so hot that carbon monoxide can also be used to reduce the iron oxide instead of…

In this essay, I will explain how we can benefit from bonding of atoms of certain elements in our daily life. As I will show in this essay, with the help of understanding the surface chemistry, which is the study of chemical reactions at interfaces (surfaces), different desired affects can be produced by the formation of selected elements such as making improved chemical composition of a surface. Surface chemistry today can be applied to solve various issues and problems including fighting…

The atomic number of 45 belongs to the element rhodium which is derived from the Greek word Rhodon meaning rose. It was first discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston, an English chemist. it is known as one of the PGM (platinum-group metals). Canada, Russia and south Africa are one of the top three producers of rhodium as south Africa as main exporter. It is usually found together with other PGMs as ores mined in its reserves. People who love jewelries are often attracted to the rarity of…

worldwide, including treating medical conditions and the production of batteries (Lithium, Explaining Lithium Oxide Chemistries, 1). Lithium had been first discovered by Johan August Arfvedson, in Stockholm, Sweden, 1817. Lithium was found within the mineral Petalite. William Thomas Brande as well as Sir Humphrey Davy, were the first to discover Petalite, after the electrolysis for lithium oxide. Electrolysis is the process in which a chemical decomposition is made from moving an electric…
